That Empty Feeling

[Zee ♥]

Ooc: Lol I've just realized I didn't explain that Gea used her powers from Taint to heal owo; But like she says, they do heal faster on their own than humans. Carry on, ignore this OOC post.

[Lt. hello II]

Rico rolled his eyes Her sword has a name, fantastic. He commented to himself as he trotted towards the others, then glancing back Well come on! he barked.

Empress? Cruelty asked in Vengeance's mind So its as I feared, Taint is gone? That would explain a lot...Well Empress I will of coarse 'behave' I have not returned to be a trouble maker.
He then turn towards Murder with his faceless mask. I died.[/i] He answered the question plainly, now speaking in all the Sin's minds. He knew that wasn't the answer he was looking for, but he didn't know exactly why, all he knew was his past, his former life, was a blur, much like this life many people had suffered by his hand.
Well aren't you talkative today. Rico sat down beside his master after hearing him in his head, not satisfied with his masters response he went more in depth for the others. Clearly he was a cruel man, and well, he has some unfinished killing to be done, what's a world without Cruelty? bore-ring!
Cruelty lowered his head and shook it, Rico's response may have held some truths, but was not to Cruelty's liking.
So, when do we get back to spreading pain and suffering?
We won't, for a while, you are not to harm the local's of this island he was still speaking in everyone's mind Or else...
Rico whimpered and slunk away from Cruelty as though he had continued his threat in Rico's mind alone.[/color]

[~Pain And Panic~]

"Besides, there's been enough pain for one day here," came a voice from behind the group.
Pain walked up to the group of Sins. Many of them she didn't recognize, but one she did.
"Vengeance!" Pain yelled in joy, and ran up to her to give her old friend a hug. But she stopped when she saw the girl on the ground.
"Is she ok?" Pain asked, not quite knowing what to say. She must've looked like that not five minutes ago, miserable, scared and in pain. But she wasn't afraid anymore, not after seeing Vengeance here. She knew she wasn't completely alone of friends she knew.
She looked each person up and down. One had a solid red mask. She wondered how he could see out of it, but didn't dare ask. He had the appearance of a menacing person, and she held her sword at her side a little harder in her practiced grip.
Vengeance wasn't worried about him clearly though, so Pain relaxed a little. She trusted Vengeance.
She'd seen the other Sin before, but hadn't met him. She remembered someone named...Murder maybe? Something like that.
Finally the girl on the ground. She bore scars and burns which looked like they'd have hurt, and was...naked?
Pain didn't know what was going on, but she guessed it was something to do with pain. She could feel it in the air. Someone was hurting.
'Well..' she thought, 'We're all hurting, but not as much as this feeling is, I've gotten used to that sensation.'
The girl didn't seem to be in any physical pain, but Pain didn't know for sure. She couldn't do anything about mental pain, as much as she tried. But she thought she'd offer anyways.
Pain bent down to a crouch and spoke to the girl.
"You don't need to afraid, your in good hands here. People like Vengeance are good people and will look after you. Are you in any pain?"


OOC. sorry, couldn't remember if Pain had met Murder before or not ;D

[Sean]

nope sorry

[Libi]

Ooc: Alright hoping for no screw ups XD It will be short sorreh -_-;

Fault leaned forward hugging her arms around her body and shivered. She tried to take in everything that had been said. It still felt like all her worries were sweat out a became a puddle of confusion beneath her. She sighed.

"No I think I'm good for now..." She closed her eyes and went over briefly of everything she was told. "It's so hard to accept this. Am I never going to be at peace because my father is dead and I can never repay him for what I did?" A sob escaped her throat and she felt the urge to scratch at her heart again. She resisted best she could. "I supposed I owe you an apology...Taavi was it?" She turned to the lizard that was waiting patiently beside her. "I'm sorry I really do have a thing against reptiles. I guess I'll have to learn with you then. No offense."

"None taken." Taavi smiled and nodded politely. Fault turned back to Vengeance and smiled at the girl's kindness toward her. She suddenly remembered that she didn't have any clothes on. "I suppose she'll be a needing more suitable attire than this." Taavi said before she could finish her thought. Fault swallowed hard. "Is there some place we could go to get some some clothes? I'm also feeling rather famished. Some crickets would be de-lish right about now"

Ooc: I'll leave it half hanging to see if things change around. I moved this cuz PnP and I posted at the same time, mine makes more sense if it's after.

[Libi]

Ooc: Thought I'd let u all know that I'm losing my computer until after exams -_-; I have a feeling that this thread won't be lasting long tho XD I'll be back next friday

[Zee ♥]

Ooc: Pain came with the other Sins 3 years ago to Kham'hur, no reason that she hasn't seen Gea in ages unless she doesn't stay too long at the Retreat. Blah-dee-dah, I'm a day late and I seem to be getting busy =w=

An excited squeal made her jump slightly out of her skin, and as she turned around she was enveloped in a warm hug. Gea grinned and patted Pain's back. "Didn't see you at breakfast, hun. She's alright, just a little muddled and confused." She said, offering her hand again to pull Fault to her feet.

"As a matter of fact, breakfast ended not too long ago, and I'm afraid theres no food. But I'm sure I have some sandwiches and biscuits somewhere, I'll have Eliade fetch them later." She said, to which Eliade grumbled discontentedly. "We have some spare clothes in the wardrobes, which you can get them after you pick your room, though I think you'll need to visit a local tailor for proper, constant attire later." Vengeance turned towards Pain, a hopeful look in her eyes.

"Think you can escort her around the Retreat? Help her pick out a room of her own, and stuff." She said, twirling her hair around her finger. Yes, I'm afraid Taint is gone. But not completely. She will come back, one day. My position, and dear Deception's, are only temporary. Gea told him privately, sighing. "Redemption, I guess. Because of what we did or did not do, or need to do, we're given new lives." She murmured to Murder, eyes slightly downcast.

[~Pain And Panic~]

OOC. Yeah sorry I'm a little confused as to what happened when stuff happened on PoS. I didn't go on much just before the fight was supposed to break out, and was never really explained what was supposed to have happened. Has it really been three years? Wow okay, ummm I really don't know much then. Can someone give me an overview on msn or something, or just tell me what Pain should remember "doing"? Sorry to be the slower of the thread.

[Sean]

ooc: alright sorry

Murder thought over what Gea said. Then another question popped into his head. "Why are we Immortal then? I mean its not that it isn't nice and all but I don't see the point in it. Why give a second chance with some collateral?"

Then more questions entered Murders head. "Why us? I know of many more people who deserve a second life more than me. I know most of them would spend it hunting me down. But I don't blame them." He shook his head. "Sorry I was getting carried away. I guess I have been asking too many questions right?"

Murder had a smirk on his face. More of to his own foolishness. He then looked at Cruelty. "It becomes easier to forget the kills when you shower. Trust me." He then looked back to Gea with an embarrassed face. Then it became a face of curiosity. "You wanted to ask me some questions am I right? If you don't feel up to it now then maby some time later to day."

Murder looked down at the girl Fault. Then surprise took him when he remembered what he held in his hand. He held out the dagger to Fault. "Sorry. Here you go. It is a nice make. But it is horrible for killing." He was censer when he said this.

[~Pain And Panic~]

OOC. Nvm I've figured out what I'm going to do.

Pain looked to Vengeance. She'd asked Pain to take this girl and show her around.
"Yes, the Retreat, I can do that." Pain wanted to know more about what was going on with these three Sins, but it's really want to ask either.
She knelt down and helped Fault to her feet, slinging one of her arms over her shoulder to help support her weight.
"Your going to be okay, let's get you some food and clothes," Pain said, trying to sound as cheerful and positive as possible.
"Come on Suna, let's go."
Suna ran off to follow them, but turned back and said: "Are you coming?" She looked at Taavi expectantly.
And they were off.


OOC. Sorry, that was kind of a little bit of godmoding, but Pain had to get outta there and taking Fault to get clothes was the easiest and most logical way to do it. If you want Fault to come back, just say in your next post that she had gone with me but come back after. I think Vengeance and Cruelty need some time to catch up anyways. I'm going to follow you guys' post and find out myself what happened ;D

[Lt. hello II]

Forget a kill!? Bahahahahah! Why would you want to forget that...thrill!? Rico laughed tauntingly as he paced around his master, halting next to the skulls tied on Cruelty's belt. Would we carry trophies if we wanted to forget? he then made his way in front of Murder and sat down. The world needs bad guys, killers, villains. Without people like us, things would get boring. I don't know what you did, but with the name Murder, clearly it was bad. Which is good, that is why you have been given another life, just like Cruelty you are clearly meant to kill. Rico stopped and looked back at Cruelty who was obviously talking to him as he became quite frightened, then he looked to Vengeance, and back at Murder But of coarse we are to follow the Empresses orders, only kill when she's okay with it. He trotted back beside Cruelty and sat obediently.

Forgive him, he enjoys the power of killing as much as I, without the ability to leave it behind. A shame to hear about Taint, but she couldn't have left better Sins in charge. He spoke only to Vengeance, he didn't know what to make of this Murder. His name certainly sounded impressive, but to Cruelty actions would speak louder then words.

[Libi]

Ooc: Haha Fault was picked up twice XD

Fault smiled at the girls, Vengeance and Pain. She nodded politely at the 2 boys, taking her dagger from Murder, and followed off behind Pain. Taavi traveled slowly behind. With her free hand she examined the dagger, it really was worthless. Thank God she had fist fighting to defend herself, not that she doubted Pain. She followed looking forward toward her new home. She could get use to living here.

Sorry short post. Figured I'd make it end here see u guys soon

[Zee ♥]

Ooc: Sorry, guys. Was busy the past few days. Seems I have a life after all! (/joke!)

Gea waved the both of them off, and faced Cruelty and Murder again, pondering on his questions. "We're immortal.. just because. I'm not sure why we're immortal, but we were given a second chance at 'life'," She laughed. "By Empress Taint. We owe her this life, so we serve no one but her. I am not the true Empress, but merely taking over for now, when she is.. gone." She sighed unhappily. Having people cater to her needs was all good and all, but responsibility was a tough thing to shoulder.

Vengeance folded her arms and eyed the both of them. She might have understood how Cruelty had arrived here, but not Murder. "Yes, I do have a question, but for both of you. How did you arrive at Kham'hur? The boat left 2 weeks ago, and there is no other way anyone could've made it here as this island is hidden from view to outsiders. Explain." She said, an amused smile on her face.

[Sean]

Tarna hissed at Rico. Get away from me you mongrel! You are a beast on a leash. And I will make sure that you stay tied to the post. She looked off to Cruelty. Keep him away from me or you will feel my sting! Murder hushed her. "Please excuse her. If she wasn't a spider she would be the ruler of us all." He chuckled. It was their personal joke. But to Tarna it was more of a fact than joke.

When Murder heard the name Taint he felt the shadows essence shift. He looked around. But nothing really changed. This has never happened before with Murder. He had read that it only happened when a shadows plan was moving along. But Murder decided to ignore it for now. Maby it will become clear to him later. Then he heard Geas question.

Murder ran his hand through his hair. Thinking of what to say. "Well that isn't an easy question to answer." He thought about it. Then he came up with the right words. "Basically, I was finished with a 'job'. Then decided to shadow walk back to base. When I stepped I was, for lack of a better word, pulled to here. To do that you need to be either a 'shadow' or you would have to be one of THE Shadows. So I was pulled here and they told me I need to find the Empress. Now don't ask me why because I have no clue. I stopped trying to figure out the shadows motives a long time ago."

Murder looked up at them. "Is that good for you?"

[Lt. hello II]

An island full of Sins is not a hard thing for me to sense, especially with you here. As for the actual getting here I have acquired many things on my journey, the dead don't have much use for boats.Cruelty responded to Vengeance, completely ignoring the spiders pathetic attempt at a threat, while Rico simply laughed.
Rico then turned Vengeance. So, about this whole not killing anyone thing, is that like a at all, or like, if say a local 'goes missing' while out for a walk or something, they wouldn't blame us persay...? he grinned hopefully.
Cruelty then focused his thoughts to both The Empress and his summon. I'm sorry Rico, we probably should have killed for a new boat before coming here. He knelt beside his summon and scratched behind his ear with his metal covered fingers, but the canine still enjoyed it. Empress Vengeance, if it is too much to ask we can wait, but after the years of satisfying, the urge, the NEED to kill only builds after each life. He stood again, realizing he was forgetting the other Sin, the fact that he couldn't hear Cruelty's words made Cruelty realize he had to get used to being around others again. He then continued in everyone present's mind excuse us, we simply need a room to meditate and clear our minds to adjust to having living people around.
Yes, that should be fine.Rico sighed.
